A person who employs a full-time caregiver may receive a long-term care benefit in cash combined with long-term care services, included in the basket of services: a personal alarm unit, absorbent products, visits at day center and laundry services.
Long-term care services available in the basket of services have a cash value, hence those choosing to combine a benefit in cash with additional long-term care services, will have the cash value of any selected service deducted from the balance of his benefit in cash.
For example, if a person entitled to a cash benefit of NIS 3,103 a month uses the service of absorbent undergarments at a value of NIS 200 a month, the NIS 200 will be deducted from his cash benefit, which will be paid at the rate of NIS 2,903 a month.
